HORSHAM, Pa. --(Business Wire)--

Reed Technology and Information Services Inc., part of the LexisNexis (News - Alert)®
family and a leading provider of content management services, and
PatentCore, a publisher of online patent office analytics, are pleased
to announce the launch of Reed Tech Patent AdvisorTM
information services, a family of on-line data intelligence tools for
patent professionals.

The Patent Advisor service provides patent professionals with strategic
insight based upon information gleaned from an analysis of more than 5
million patent applications. The new collection of on-line services
expands upon the previously released Reed Tech Patent Application
Reports with a variety of additional new and unique offerings. The
listing of Patent Advisor services currently includes:

Patent Advisor Open Search Service This simple to use
on-line search system provides instant access to comprehensive and
dynamically updated performance data for every U.S. patent examiner
and art unit. Reported performance attributes include, for
example, data related to RCE turnaround time, allowance rates, and
appeal process outcomes.

Patent Advisor Report Service This on-line service
enables a user to select any patent application and quickly obtain a
corresponding printable PDF application report that includes
commentary and useful statistics that reveal what is "normal" for the
examiner and the art unit assigned to the selected application.

Patent Advisor Corporate Dashboard Service Corporations
now have easy on-line access to comprehensive and dynamically updated
analysis of how different law firms, lawyers, examiners and art units
have managed the assets in their own product portfolio or in one of
their competitors.

Patent Advisor Law Firm Dashboard Service IP attorneys
and their organizations can access this on-line service to quickly and
easily compare their clients' patent application statuses to a broad
universe of metrics specific to the associated examiners and art units
processing the applications. This information is useful for improving
efficiency, for supporting marketing efforts, and for managing client
expectations.

"We are excited to be working closely with PatentCore in bringing new
and unique value to the IP community focused on managing their patent
application portfolios and patent prosecution decisions, said David
Ballai, CIO & VP Commercial Solutions, Reed Technology. "Patent Advisor
now helps our clients to make exceptionally informed decisions about
their patent application management strategy, helping to shorten the
prosecution cycle, improve the likelihood of a high-quality patent
grant, and drive material cost efficiencies into the process."

"Our collaboration with the team at Reed Technology draws together the
strengths of a global service provider with a deep understanding of U.S.
patent information processing with an IP business dedicated to the
delivery of actionable business intelligence," said Chris Holt, CEO at
PatentCore. "The combination of business strengths will help to deliver
to a big data solution designed to enable those in the IP community to
benefit from a much deeper understanding of patent acquisition
processes."
